      The soviets were authoritarians…

      Ones with a terrible human rights record.

      Like, even if you ignore everything except a left/right economic scale, their wealth inequality was insane. Most people had the same: nothing. And a few people had almost everything of value in the country.

      That’s not communism, that’s an oligarchy. The only further right on an economic scale would be a single person owning everything.
